This seems like it should be an “age old adage” since it happens so often that when it is hot as “hell” outside it is as cold as the ice box (now that sounds old) inside. So what do you do when you want to stay effortlessly stylish in both climates? Try fabrics that keep you cool and warm. “Huh”, you say? Uh, “bamboo” I say.
According to bamboo-inspiration.com, bamboos are cool to touch in hot weather, a property that it maintains in the form of fabrics that leads the wearing of it to keep you cool in the heat along with its ventilation and moisture absorption properties. These same properties within the micro structure of the fabric keep you warm in cold weather through permitting warm air to get trapped next to your skin.
So what clothing can you get made out of bamboo? Everything it seems…from underwear to swimwear. But let’s just stick with a basic that’s appropriate for your colleagues to see you in — the wrap.
I love this convertible sweater from Gaiam. It’s versatility allows it to be easily paired with work tailored slacks to take you from office chic, providing warmth in the air conditioning…to keeping you cool, both literally and figuratively, when you head out for drinks in the summer’s heat.
